9 Weeks Until Christmas - Video Tutorial

Just 9 weeks until Christmas! Have you started making your Christmas cards yet? Here is one of the cards that I was working on last week, and will be sending it out to some of the people on my Christmas card list.

I originally made the card below - when I first purchased the Branching Out bundle. This stamp set is not really a Christmas one - but I saw a similar card on Pinterest - and thought the snow tipped branches would make a BEAUTIFUL holiday card.

I also made the card using different card stock colors, including Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy. Instead of stamping a Christmas greeting from another stamp set - I used greetings from the Greetings for You Mix & Max Ephemera Pack. There are A LOT of different self-adhesive greetings in the package. These greetings are very sturdy and most of the time I attached them using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added ribbon or twin to the stamped layer - before attaching it to the card front. You may notice that I also embossed the bottom layer of Crumb Cake card stock - which adds a beautiful look to the card. I used a retired embossing folder (Timber) on my card.

Watch the video below to see how I made this card.

Here are the pieces you will need to make the original card.

10 Weeks Until Christmas

Are you thinking about making Christmas cards this year? There's plenty of time - Christmas is still 10 weeks away! It can be a little overwhelming to come up with the perfect design - and lots of people tell me they get bored making more than 2 or 3 of the same card. I made these cards with products that allow you to make a lot of Quick and Easy cards - and they can all be different, if you want them to be.

I made these cards using the Christmas Tags and More 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper, Christmas Greetings Mix & Match Specialty cards & envelopes, and the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack - all from Stampin' Up!

The plaid card bases are a little larger (4-1/4 x 6-1/4) than a regular card base (4-1/4 x 5-1/2) and are a nice size for holiday cards. They have beautiful gold foiling on them!
The 6x6 designer paper includes 32 pieces of double-sided paper and 4 sheets of die cut pieces - which allow for unlimited uses on your cards - and would even work on scrapbook layouts.
The Ephemera pack of beautiful, self-adhesive foil greetings- make it super easy to finish these cards.

Here are some of the cards I made using these products - no stamping involved!

I made the two cards below using a card sketch. Come back to my blog on Saturday to see the details for making these cards.

I made the cards below using the Branching Out stamp set. Yes - I did say you could make these cards without stamping........but the card bases are so beautiful with this stamp set, and will work with other stamps sets you might already have.

Below are some of the products I used to make my cards. You can click on any image for more information about the product - and to add it to your wish list or shopping cart in my online store.
